The game features a variety of mechanics that are introduced early on. Pay close attention to enemy attack patterns to master dodging. Perfect dodges, achieved by flicking the left stick at the precise moment an enemy attacks, trigger a slow-motion effect and are crucial for survival and unlocking the 'Float Like A Butterfly' achievement. Combat involves alternating dodges (left/right) and then attacking with RT. Remember to mash Y to escape grabs and use Y again to stomp on downed enemies. Collecting Bios (43 total) and finding other collectibles will be detailed throughout the walkthrough.
